The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong if it is a light wudu', because the time does not last long. However, one should not read the Qur'an except in a state of ritual purity. It is better for a person not to read the Qur'an except in a state of ritual purity, whether he reads it from the mushaf or from memory. But he is permitted to read it without ritual purity, because it is not a condition for reading the Qur'an that a person be in a state of ritual purity, except in the case of janabah. It is not permissible for one in a state of janabah to read the Qur'an until he performs ghusl.
